Massive Night for 7. Good to see Home and Away above a million again and My Kitchen Rules almost at 2 million! A week off did not hurt it's ratings in the slightest, actually a full week of promotion has helped the show and I think it's going to defeat The Voice this year.

who watched sbs2's relaunch last night?? i did, loved it all, even the shows i thought i wouldnt like but still watched, i loved them!
The SBS launch was a huge disappointment ratings wise. Much lower than the usual rating for the channel despite quite a bit of promotion including on the web.

Unfortunate, but not surprising. The programming is mostly junk.

They need something mainstream (ie South Park) to lure viewers in and therefore possibly sample the other junk.

south park is on sbs1 as it smore mainstream and is a ratings getter for sbs. some like, some dont, but i liked it and comparing to other channels, it actually (to me) had a good lineup, great laughs, brought new shows and people to me and was well worth the watch. apart from hillbilly thursdays on 7mate, sport and retro arvo's on 11, i dont have much bother to watch any other channel. when a-league seaosn comes aorund, i will have comedy, sport, music (pop asia) and more on one channel.

H&A, MKR, and revenge all get their highest ratings in a long time, makes sense given the public holiday effect and lack of competition, Easter Monday has been an untapped gold mine of ratings all these years, i think 7 has set a precedence here, from next year onwards, i think Easter monday will be a key battleground.

i would of thought that 0.7% for SBS2's launch is alright. it is SBS afterall, it is going to take a while for the message to get mainstream.

yea i'll wait till the end of the week and see what the ratings are like. i expect there will be a slow rise in ratings, there were a lot of great shows on, but its sbs2, majority of people would rather watch commercial channels with american sitcoms.
